		<description>I have been responding to wing-nuts who e-mail me the rushised version of this for weeks now!

I am so glad that people (those with the desire for the truth) have seen that the FEMA (FEBLE) people told them not to use the buses because they were not air conditioned!

As for Nor-east dimentia, no comment, I can&#039;t fix stupid.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve lived through several hurricanes. when mandatory evacuation were announced we stayed inside our home in Lake Jackson,Tx. and watched the radar on the TV and net. don&#039;t get me wrong we were ready to leave just not needlessly and I&#039;m really glad we didn&#039;t listen to the people in the know, cause all they showed me is they don&#039;t know much about s#*t when it comes to helping people in a real pinch!!</description>

		<description>Lyle,

Were you born that stupid, or did it take a lifetime for you reach that level?

Lets see, 10,000 people with no showers, limited bathrooms, virus vectors producing vomit, no proper trash facilities.

I&#039;d say FEMA&#039;s late response did a great job of once again leaving poor people to rot and blaming them for the mess when it&#039;s clear they can&#039;t get out.  You republicans are a piece of work!  You&#039;re the stupidest and most heartless excuses for a human being on earth!  You judge others, yet your evil actions and oppression put those people there in the first place.  Curse you, you fool!</description>

		<description>Think Progress,

If you want to have any credibility, you need to blame Blanco and Nagin for incompetence and poor leadership.  You can&#039;t just blame everything on Bush.  It wasn&#039;t Bush&#039;s job to evacuate the Desire project. That was Nagin&#039;s job.

Not to mention it was black New Orleanians who turned the Superdome and the Convention Center into a ghetto in three days, not Bush.</description>

		<description>cynanne,

It&#039;s an easy explanation of why so many republicans are duped...

It&#039;s the confidence man scam.  Those republicans who are greedy (as most are) are given the promise of getting rich, big tax cuts, cutting crime by not codling the poor &#039;black man&#039; and welfare queens while they kill any of them that are &#039;dangerous&#039;.  And the promise the NeoCons to protect Israel at all costs.  They&#039;re scammed into believing that they&#039;ll get their dreams, but in fact the core GOP is really about stealing them blind.  It&#039;s very much a scam.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s obvious that Gov. Perry is learning from the prior experience with Hurricane Katrina so it would not be fair to compare his performance to that of Gov. Blanco.  

Of course, Gov. Perry may also have learned from the experience with Hurricane Andrew, or Ivan, or Betsy, or Camille, or any number of hurricanes that seem to strike the US Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas pretty much this time every year going back as far as records have been kept.  I know that seems far-fetched but it just might be the case.  

One still has to wonder why Gov. Blanco seemed to never to have contemplated the possibility of a hurricane before the appearance or Katrina.  I personally don&#039;t think this is a democrat vs. republican  or a liberal vs. conservative issue but rather one of competence vs. incompetence.  Sadly, the citizens of La. have an incompetent for a governor and the citizens of New Oleans have a similar incompetent for a mayor.</description>

		<description>Call for an investigation all you want, you won&#039;t get it. The Republicans own everything but our souls and they&#039;ll just put up some lackeys. Just like in that case of price gouging.
&quot;Hey, lets put up one of Bush&#039;s hyper-conservative buddies who is eye-deep in the oil business to investigate price gouging! Its not like thats a blatant case of conflict of interest or anything.&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;nice try, gang. Gov. Perry is teaching Democrats a lesson in tragedy management from a state level.&quot;

This classic NeD comment shows us all his ignorance and his naive rushes to judgment.  It looks like the spin started a little early, though.  So, on a STATE level, Rita evacuees are stuck on the highway and running out of gas.  You know, that IS a lesson.

See, troll, states are only able to do so much.  We give the feds our money to help us when, at a state level, it is just too much to overcome.  Your ignorance reestablishes why we vote the way we do.  GOP is all smoke and mirrors.  Eventually the smoke clears.</description>

		<description>Something else that hasn&#039;t gotten wide airplay: evidently, Gov. Blanco was concerned about traffic gridlock had she ordered a mandatory evacuation earlier.  Instead, she persuaded local church leaders to push people to start heading out.

As we&#039;re now seeing in the Houston area, this probably wasn&#039;t that bad of an idea.</description>

		<description>[...] We also have a war of the school buses, with Republicans contrasting the evacuation of the Texas coast with the flooded NoLa buses, and Lousiana governor Blanco saying FEMA turned down her school buses because they weren&#8217;t air conditioned. The recent deaths of elderly evacuees in a bus fire on a Texas highway will only fan the flames, if you&#8217;ll pardon the heartless pun. [...]</description>
